Sadly, children often bear the brunt of this harm. For instance, in its 2012 report, the American Association of Poison Control Center noted that there were a whopping 10,311 reported cases of poison exposure related to “homeopathic agents,” with 8,788 of those reported cases attributed to children five years of age or younger. Of the 10,311 reported cases, 697 required treatment in a health care facility.

Don't waste your money on those silly-assed homeopathic belladonna pills. If your young 'un is having a hard time with teething pain, just hit him upside the head with an all-natural rock. The pain in the side of his head will make him forget all about the teething pain. Problem solved.

Just hit him upside the head with a porcupine. Picking out all those quills will certainly divert his attention!

Ten deaths of children who used homeopathic teething tablets and 400 adverse events associated with the tablets have been reported to the US Food and Drug Administration, the agency said Wednesday.
Given the well-established scientific precept that "correlation = causation until proven otherwise," caution dictates steering clear of these homeopathic teething tablets, regardless of what the Big Homeopathy apologists are saying.

It's curious why the FDA would advise not to give children these tablets because there may be a correlation with adverse events, yet mandate that every single child in the entire country get 49 doses of vaccine (69 by the age of 18) when there there is a very strong correlation (not causation) that vaccines may be responsible for serious or life threatening events in some children. So much hypocrisy. Wonder if it has to do with the bottom line.

A rather dramatic expansion of the FDA's statutory authority happened while we were sleeping last night!

In which peacegirl's grasp of the functioning of the administrative state is further demonstrated
peacegirl, use the list!
What does the functioning of the administrative state have to do with a set of symptoms that appear in both situations, yet one is implicated as being the culprit (although often given at the same time vaccines are given) and the other is "just a coincidence." Do you see the problem here, or are you just too blind?
Re: Iffy therapies given thumbs up by the FDA. SCARY! I'm
peacegirl, from where did you derive your claim that "the FDA . . . mandate[s] that every single child in the entire country get 49 doses of vaccine (69 by the age of 18)"?
I already know the know the answer.

The exemptions are shrinking. If Hillary wins it could turn into a federal mandate just like in California where the only exemption is a proven medical condition, otherwise you cannot go to public school. They already have people knocking on doors to check on the children's vaccination status and if they're not up to date they are prepared to inject them on the spot. It makes me cringe at the thought.

If you made up the claim - and you did - then please just say so.

I don't know, peacegirl, you're the one making up dumb shit about the FDA " mandat[ing] that every single child in the entire country get 49 doses of vaccine (69 by the age of 18)."
However, in the interest of sport, I'll take a crack at answering your question, peacegirl!
Line up 50 people who will not move, and a dog, from a slight distance away cannot identify the FDA Commissioner. If the FDA that every single child in the entire country get 49 doses of vaccine (69 by the age of 18), then he would recognize the FDA Commissioner instantly as he can from sound and smell...
Re: Iffy therapies given thumbs up by the FDA. SCARY! I'm
I read that the FDA commissioner's wang is like a phallic symbol.

You just can't seem to stay on topic. You'd rather crack jokes at my expense, of course. It's interesting to observe how good you and Maturin are at deflecting, just so you can make a joke out of everything I post. That's why I can't stay.
Re: Iffy therapies given thumbs up by the FDA. SCARY! I'm
peacegirl, I thought you would agree the proof by dog eyes is a powerful one. I am amazed that you are so ready to dismiss it without even understand its foundation. I think you need to spend more time studying the Authentic Text; you've internalized your corruptions in the Corrupted Text!

Ok, peacegirl. I mean, the actuarial tables suggest that is unlikely, but ok.

Re: Iffy therapies given thumbs up by the FDA. SCARY! I'm
peacegirl, you claimed without any prompting whatsoever that "the FDA . . . mandate[s] that every single child in the entire country get 49 doses of vaccine (69 by the age of 18)." The claim - which is false, by the way - was central to the point you were trying to make. That being true, how does asking you to back up that claim qualify as "deflecting"?
